Not sure if it's the conductor or just the whole orchestra, but the whole thing sounds lackluster for about the first minute. THEN, notice how Lakatos simply takes control: he walks out to the front, turns his fiddle toward the orchestra, and plays with authORity. The whole tone changes and it becomes wonderful.

Roby Lacatos knows well how to improvize! :)

Just watch this: Roby Lakatos-Minor Swing

and you will understand what I'm talking about

I do realize there is a place for written music and I'm not any way saying that because you have to play in an orchestra to make ends meet makes you lack soul. I know there's some times you have to subjugate your own interpretation to that of the conducter and your fellow musicians. Just wanted to try and clarify that. Personally, I play fiddle on the streets of seattle for tips. I play fiddle tunes, jazz tunes and a fair amount of Jimmy Hendrix on the streets, so most of what I do is improv.

Hello Ned. Roby Lakatos definitely ranks top 5 of my favorite fiddlers for many, many many reasons. I posted my response to counter the responses I've read that take exception to Roby's playing of Gypsy Airs primarily based upon perception of many in the classical community that you shouldn't improvise with the classics. I'm not trying to offend any fiddlers by saying they don't have soul. But I will say Roby has soul, and I wish soul to be on par with technique in what's taught in classical.

It is a bit insulting to say a violinist does not have soul though because they show up to a job and do as they are told. One must draw a line between improvising to express yourself for entertainment and providing for ones self. There is realistically only so much lime light to go around which means the vast majority of violinists are paid with the expectation of never performing a solo, let alone being a featured artist. Such a problem has always been a problem in the fine arts.

@jjrex22 There is no rule about not improvising in classical music. A lot of concerto provide ample opprotunity to improvise. It is just a matter of ignoring a solo written by some one like Eugene Ysaye and coming up with your own. The issue is not just a matter of improvisition though. The solos have become so popular, people who listen to the music expect to hear those solos in classical music. Musicians typically don't make very much so must cater to the desires of those willing to pay them.
